Sea of Me

Alone, Jack Gilbert

I never thought Michiko would come back
after she died. But if she did, I knew
it would be as a lady in a long white dress.
It is strange that she has returned
as somebody’s dalmation. I meet
the man walking her on a leash
almost every week. He says good morning
and I stoop down to calm her. He said
once that she was never like that with
other people. Sometimes she is tethered
on their lawn when I go by. If nobody
is around, I sit on the grass. When she
finally quiets, she puts her head in my lap
and we watch each other’s eyes as I whisper
in her soft ears. She cares nothing about
the mystery. She likes it best when
I touch her head and tell her small
things about my days and our friends.
That makes her happy the way it always did.

Michiko Dead, Jack Gilbert

He manages like somebody carrying a box
that is too heavy, first with his arms
underneath. When their strength gives out,
he moves the hands forward, hooking them
on the corners, pulling the weight against
his chest. He moves his thumbs slightly
when the fingers begin to tire, and it makes
different muscles take over. Afterward,
he carries it on his shoulder, until the blood
drains out of the arm that is stretched up
to steady the box and the arm goes numb. But now
the man can hold underneath again, so that
he can go on without ever putting the box down.

I came back from the funeral and crawled
around the apartment, crying hard,
searching for my wife’s hair.
For two months got them from the drain,
from the vacuum cleaner, under the refrigerator,
and off the clothes in the closet.
But after other Japanese women came,
there was no way to be sure which were
hers, and I stopped. A year later,
repotting Michiko’s avocado, I find
a long black hair tangled in the dirt.

Lol I’m attempting to, let’s see how it goes! Getting ready to release my first full album so I need some social network backing, and I also need something to entertain me during class.

I hold the key which opens all.

His destiny: the doors and walls.

The brightest stars will beg,

Desiring even the slightest taste

As the roads they blindly pave make way

For death of control. Senselessness dilates.

But know should they: a breath of fate

Is all too fake.

Is believed so great, but too easy to break.

He holds the key. He opens me,

And we bathe in cascades of mystery,

For his next move, and my next step

Are conjoined in choice to exist beyond death.

Perception is everything. All human beings experience trials, tragedies, times of desperate solitude, stress and setbacks; but these things can not exist in the complete absence of warmth, friendship, appreciation and most importantly love. Understand that an opposite must exist for every piece of natural life, and a little bit of hell is what makes a special moment that much better. If you simply look at everything in your life from the right perspective to show its true beauty, everything is possible. After the past few years of struggles, I have received a beautiful gift of positive karma: Holly. My best friend and fiancé, she has made me realize how beautiful every single moment can be when you embrace your talents and creativity, and dictate weaknesses as a natural setback which can be more than overcome. I am the luckiest man alive to have the most divinely beautiful creature, inside and out, esoterically bound to me with love.

PEACHES!

All The Days

Don’t you wait another minute before you make your move.

I have never been so excited to meet someone like you.

The water is cold, but I can wait. By the way your fingers trace

my skin, I don’t believe this feeling. I’m alive again.

I feel a rush in my blood as you take me to meet

the voice that you’ve disguised for years buried behind your teeth.

All the days and all the nights of hearing colors and breathing light,

I see this is not just destiny.

I’ll never split from our soul.

I lend my touch to be your own.

I’ll never split from our soul.

I lend my touch to be your home.
